Infographics. Household waste in Lorraine: view collection gaps by department
In 2021, 2.8 million tonnes of household and similar waste (excluding debris and rubble) were collected in Grand Est, according to the latest INSEE study.
This represents 501 kilos per inhabitant, compared to the national average of 548 kg. In 2011, the average in the Grand Est region was 506 kg: volumes have therefore fallen slightly over ten years.

Sorting continues to progress in Grand Est:
- residual household waste is the main type of waste collected (42%).
- 24% are sorted via selective collections.
- 33% are deposited in the 468 recycling centers, with an average of 2 to 3 visits per inhabitant each year.
Over the past ten years, according to INSEE, residual waste has decreased by 52 kg per capita in the region. Recyclable waste has increased by 16 kg per capita.
As our infographic shows, the gaps remain narrow between the Lorraine departments, but the Meuse shows the best result with 470 kg/ inhabitant, or 31 kg less than the regional average.
Vosges : 553 kg/inhabitant, the highest level in Lorraine.
Moselle : 530 kg/inhabitant.
Meurthe-et-Moselle: 502 kg/inhabitant.
The reasons for these differences? Incentive pricing. This system affected 31% of the population in Grand Est, compared to 10% in metropolitan France.
Indeed, the INSEE notes that in communities that have generalized incentive pricing, residual waste (non-recycled garbage) has fallen by 34%, and sorting has increased by 20%.
In the Meuse and Meurthe-et-Moselle departments, this pricing system affected approximately 40% of the population, compared to 24% in Moselle. In large inter-municipal authorities, incentive pricing remains rare: it is virtually non-existent, for example, in Metz (0.1%).
According to the study, the Grand Est is the third best-equipped French region in terms of incentive pricing, behind the Pays de la Loire and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
To better analyze these figures in Lorraine, here are the differences in the quantities of waste collected throughout France.

As our map shows, some departments are well above the national average (548 kg/inhabitant), such as Landes with 890 kg per inhabitant , Côtes-d'Armor with 760 kg and Corse-du-Sud with 770 kilos.
The best performers - those with the lowest volumes - are the Hauts-de-Seine and Val-de-Marne departments with 390 kilos per inhabitant.
